Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the astrology podcast. In this episode,

Austin Kopik is joining me and we're going to be looking at the astrological forecast for December of 2023.

Hey, Austin.

Hey, Chris.

Hey, all right. So we're recording this today on Saturday, November 25th,

2023 starting at 3 p.m. in Denver, Colorado, it's actually 315 p.m. In the first hour of this episode, we're going to discuss some recent news and events that have happened since our last forecast about a month ago, and then in the second hour of this episode, we're going to jump ahead and look at the

astrological forecast for December. So there are timestamps on the podcast website if you want to jump ahead to the

forecast about halfway through this episode. So first before we get into the news I want to give

a quick overview of the astrology of December just to give you a preview of some of the stuff that we're going to be talking about

later in this episode. So let me pull up the planetary alignments calendar here.

The first thing that we start with at the very top of the month is that Mercury moves into the sign of Capricorn and departs from

Sagittarius right away on the 1st of December, although Mercury is actually

going to go retrograde this month, so it's going to return back to Sagittarius later in the month.

Then on the 4th of December, Venus goes into the sign of Scorpio.

Two days later, the planet Neptune stations direct in the sign of Pisces on December 6th. Then the following week

we get our first lunation of the month, which is a new moon in the sign of Sagittarius.

On the 13th, the very next day, we have Venus stationing retrograde in the sign of Capricorn and beginning a three week retrograde period.

The following week, the sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, then Mercury conjoins the Sun and we get the halfway point in the

Mercury retrograde cycle with the Sun Mercury Kazimi on the 22nd, and then the very next day mercury retrogrades back into

Sagittarius makes a retrograde ingress into late Sagittarius.

The following week on the 26th we get our second lunation of the month which is a full moon in the sign of cancer.

Then a retrograde mercury conjoins Mars in Sagittarius on the 27th of December.
